Abstract
BrightView Technologies unique grayscale lithographic process, microscopic optical structures generated on a large format, enables countless products with applications in many fields including Consumer Electronics. We will offer an overview of our technology followed by discussions with emphasis on applications in Consumer Electronics. Topics covered will include beam shaping for AR DLP/LCoS based display, direction turning micro-lens array (MLA) for Lambertian profiled input beam, cell phone flash optics, cell phone ambient light sensor optics, edge-lit back light unit (BLU) luminance enhancement, and others.
Dr. Bing Shen – Fellow at BrightView Technologies
Dr. Bing Shen has 30 years research and development experience in optical and electronic fields. Prior to joining Bright View, Bing held multiple lead technical positions at companies from startups to large established corporations. Some of his notable inventions include: the first movable CMOS-process-made MEMS mirror device recognized by “EE Times”; 2D tileable x-ray detector architectures, widely adopted in modern computed tomography systems; large scale integrated micro thermoelectric device made by an IC (integrated circuit) fabrication process; alignment-free micro optics achieving numerous highly desirable optical functions for applications covering display, 3D sensing and lighting.
Bing earned his BS degree from Zhejiang University and his MS degree and PhD from University of Alberta.

BA-SID Professional Person Spotlight – Ozan Cakmakci
Ozan Cakmakci leads the optical design and architecture group focusing on eyewear displays at Google. He previously led the development of next-generation optics for Google Glass and has contributed to technical due diligence of augmented reality investments totaling several hundred million dollars.
Ozan earned his Ph.D. in Optics from the College of Optics and Photonics, CREOL, at the University of Central Florida in 2008. He has published extensively in augmented- and virtual-reality optics, with more than 3,800 citations, and holds over 100 issued patents. He is particularly known for his work on curved lightguide technology.
He is the author of Optical Design of Eyewear Displays, a comprehensive reference on the optical engineering of modern XR eyewear. Tracing the journey from optical principles to product implementation, this book covers the human visual system, display metrics, microdisplays, optical components, and architectures ranging from freespace systems to waveguides. It is intended for optical engineers, researchers, students, and others working at the intersection of optics, electronics, and AI-enabled eyewear displays.
